My place is good for couples and families (with kids). It is situated between the North and South coasts so a quick look out the window decides which way to go. Ideally positioned for walking the magnificent coastal path and near the surfing beaches of the north coast. It is in very easy reach of Helston, Falmouth and Truro. On the main bus route from Redruth to Falmouth so travel by bus, train or car is equally easy. Local amenities include a shop, pub and bakery.

A cosy and comfortable space to explore and unwind the UNESCO world heritage mine sites of west Cornwall as well as the beautiful coastline
Guests have complete use of the house and courtyard including BBQ and chiminea.
Meet guests on arrival and then leave them to chill in peace unless they require assistance

A quiet and welcoming village community makes this a charming place to live
On the main bus route from Redruth to Falmouth. Train links from Redruth to the rest of the county and beyond

Tony was very helpful and obliging. We arrived a few hours later than planned owing to dreadful traffic but he was still there to greet us and couldn't have been more welcoming. His house is comfortable, clean and well-equipped. We loved the cosy fire and the authentic feel of an old miner's cottage - original stone walls and windy stairs to the upstairs bedrooms, where we slept very soundly before going off to explore the glorious Cornish countryside and coast. Good value and very highly recommended.

Tony was great, very friendly and welcoming

Simon September 2016

Perfectly located central accommodation for exploring Cornwall. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Tony was an excellent host and went the extra mile to make us feel at home- including welcoming us with scones and clotted cream. I will definitely recommend this cottage and looking forward to coming back!

Toni had left us a Cornish cream tea in the fridge.

WaqasAugust 2016

We enjoyed our stay at the room at number 20 a lot! The room is cosy and arranged aesthetically, the family is obliging and so kind. Also the suggestions to discover the surrounding area like Illogan and Portreath by foot rounded our stay. We would love to come back soon!

ChristofOctober 2016

Fantastic house. I give 6 star. Definitely I'll go there next time.

GuojieAugust 2016

This is a wonderful place to stay. It has its own side entrance, a very comfortable bed, a good shower, as well as a fridge, microwave, TV and tea/coffee making facilities. It is, in essence, a self-contained flatlet. The communications with Anna were very good and Mike made me feel very welcome upon arrival. The broadband link worked well.There are some maps showing walking routes to Portreath and typed information about the area and where to find local places to eat etc. Aesthetically everything was very pleasing to the eye, clean and comfortable. Hanging out a few items of clothing on the washing line was fine. In short, everything (except the weather - I'd have liked to have sat in the garden more) was fantastic. I could not have wished for more and Mike and Anna were the perfect hosts - being available if I wanted to ask for anything, but otherwise leaving me in peace to do my own thing.

PhilipSeptember 2016

Lovely stay in Illogan, the room was excellent, facilites excellent, couldn't have asked for a better stay. I was asked if i could provide feedback to say what i felt could have been done better, i thought about this and in all honesty there is nothing i can recommend, i only stayed one night but i wished i was staying longer and would certianly stay again another time.

RichardAugust 2016

Anna and Mike are great! Our room was lovely, and we even had our own keys! We had our separate small "kitchen" with a coffee machine, milk and cereals ;) PS: Cherry on the cake

PaulAugust 2016

Anna and her husband Mike were wonderful! When we arrived we were greeted by Mike with an incredibly warm welcome which after a very long drive was lovely and much needed. They were very respectful of our space and once we'd been shown in, we were pretty much left to it unless we needed anything, in which case they were very helpful and accommodating. The room itself was very private with its own entrance and beautiful private bathroom. It was incredibly well stocked with bread, jam, butter, juice, milk and a good selection of cerials. Illogan, being reasonably central, was a perfect location for our trip as we wanted to drive out and explore Cornwall as a whole, and all of our chosen destinations (St Ives, Penzance, Lizard Point, Knightor Vinyard, Padstow, Newquay, Fowey and Eden Project) were within a hour's drive from the house. The room was exactly the place we wanted to return to after long days of driving, to kick back with a film and an enormous, fantastic portion of fish and chips from the local fish and chip shop 'Cousin Jack's'. We stopped off on the way back from somewhere in the car, but it seemed to be within a short walk from the room. Everything about a trip was exactly what we needed to get away from it all, from all the privacy we needed and wonderful room, to great pasty shop advice and friendly hosts. We would most definitely recommend this accommodation, and was great value for money. Can't fault it and can't wait to go back!

VictoriaSeptember 2016

Mike and Anna was friendly during the reservation process and communicated extremely well. They made me and my partner feel more than welcome from beginning to end. We felt we was given privacy yet our hosts was always just a call away to answer any questions or offer any help. The room was clean and the fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave was very useful for our long stay. The ensuite shower was great! Having our own parking space was very useful too. We really enjoyed our holiday in Cornwall and it was made better by spending it at Mike and Anna's room at number 20!!! Many thanks Mike and Anna.

I was absolutely delighted with my stay at Sandy`s. The room and house was immaculate and exactly(and more) as it said on the tin. Clean, warm and very comfortable. There was even a kettle and tea/coffee in the room which was an unexpected surprise. Thank you.

AndrewApril 2016

The neighbourhood is safe and quiet and Sandy is such a lovely host. It was a very comfortable and clean place to stay. I visited a lot of Cornwall, places I had not seen before, from here, and it was always lovely to see Sandy at the end of a day's long walk or surf. I had a longer stay, of two weeks, and not did feel unhappy or uncomfortable. She even picked me up from Truro when I missed the bus! I think the best thing was Sandy leaves you to your own devises without any fuss, and is in touch with you very quickly if you need something. She is genuinely happy for you when you have enjoyed yourself. And her son is a kind person too. I would happily recommend her and her lovely home! Arhan xxx

ArhanSeptember 2016

Sandy was very welcoming and was great with showing me around her house and settling me in. My room was in a quite part of the house and was as described. Sandy was also able to securely store my bicycle which was great. My time at Sandy's house was generally pleasurable. I would recommend this house to people not allergic to cats.

NicolaOctober 2016

It was a very good place, thank you !

DamienJuly 2016

Sandy is a lovely woman, her house is spotlessly clean, room is small though more than adequate with decent bed, two comfy chairs, desk and wardrobe. Loved the coffee/tea making facilities in the bedroom and easy parking. Wifi works and Flossy the cat is a sweetheart. Oh, shower totally sucks though, with temp gauge straight in the middle, water fluctuates between blasting hot or quite cold with 20 second intervals to soap up and rinse, as it transitioning between the two extremes. Sandy did say she would be getting it fixed soon.

LoriJuly 2016

Sandy was welcoming and approachable and was kindly there to let me in. The room was as described, tidy, and sufficient for my needs. There was also a green area and park nearby which I made use of on my solitary run!

CynthiaJuly 2016

Sandy was hospitable and friendly. The description of the room was accurate in fact it was better than described. The location is residential and quiet.

Lovely family friendly cottage located in a village that's 'not too far' from anywhere. It made for a great base and our four year old was happily entertained with toys and DVDs. A well presented home with instructions where required.

Short stay in Cornwall. Perfect location to explore the area...highly recommend Eden prosject and surfing! We was out most of the time, only used the house for sleeping. Linen and towels not provided, but we managed to bring it with us from Norway ....but would have been better if we didn't need to...

HildeJuly 2014

Really enjoyed our short stay at this great location in Camborne - so easy to get to the coast and resorts like St Ives and Portreath. The cottage is well equipped and reminded me of childhood holidays in Cornwall. Very good value for money and a great base for exploring the area.

SteveJanuary 2015

Great short stay - great communication with Nigel. House well equipped and very much as described. Located close driving distance to beaches and not too long drive to Lands End and St. Michael's Mount. Car a must but try to avoid parking at 'Rush hour' as road outside is narrow & can get busy. There is no wifi, but there was a BT hotspot I could connect to. Hope to come back to stay longer next time!

ColinFebruary 2015

Great wee home with everything a family could need. House is very comfortable and we were travelling with two children aged six and two who were over the moon to have plenty of toys to play with. The Brio train set was especially popular! Lot's of advice for local attractions in the house and plenty to do in and around the area. Hope to return to stay longer again in the future.

Really responsive and helpful. Got a little lost and struggled with the wifi. Helpful and friendly.

RuthNovember 2016

It's a very cute cottage, vary private. We got a very warm welcome from Tracey. She prepared us flowers, eggs, bread and butter so we can cook for our breakfast. Lovely! However, It was raining when I arrived so it was a little difficult to get to the room as my car(Nissan, SUV) was too big for her driveway. We have to park opposite-side of road from her place which 2 mins walking. Also there was NO wifi, but Tracey said it was because of the rain that sometimes wifi is not stable.

Angie and Chris made us feel so welcome right from the start! They are both very kind and helpful, we got some pointers on where to go and their home was a great base to explore Cornwall from. Everything was very, very clean and comfortable and the shower could have been in a luxury spa. We even had breakfast in their lovely garden one sunny morning. Chris & Angie, thank you for all your help and welcoming us into your home! We will definitely be staying with you again when we come to Cornwall next summer!

We had a really good stay at Simon's. He was a really nice host with his wife Robina. They made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They have excellent local knowledge, of places to see, local events and places to eat. The room was very clean and had plenty of space and an excellent view looking out towards St Ives. The bed was very comfortable which made for a good nights sleep. Breakfast was lovely with a nice selection of cereals, toast, juice tea and coffee, and they always offered more making sure you had a good sized breakfast. I would recommend staying here to anyone with the fantastic hosting and the localtion being reasonably central between a few towns and beaches making it a good base.

The room was great and had a lovely breakfast from Robina :) Simon is very helpfull and with good sense of humor showing and telling us the good places near by to visit as we are quite new to cornwall. I love to visit again if i ever come to cornwall. Many Thanks Simon & Robina for looking after us very well hope to see you soon.

A perfect stay. Despite our late arrival from a long journey, we got a really friendly welcome. The room was a great size - plenty of room for us and our young son - and the bed was super comfy. With all the peace and quiet it was a great night's rest! We were given all the information we needed and they really went out of their way to make us feel relaxed and welcome. Cracking breakfast the next morning too. Lovely to meet you - we'd definitely think about staying again if we were in the area.

We were unable to spend much time with Simon but he does make a lovely cup of tea. Robina was so friendly and helpful especially when we got lost finding the house and also by walking us down to a restaurant. A glass of wine on our return and big chats evening and while eating the super breakfast all added to a great experience.

Robina was a wonderful host, made us feel very welcome and was so helpful with getting us on our way to the wedding we came down for. Robina made us bacon sandwiches and was so kind and welcoming. I would recommend it to anyone!

Simon and Robina were the most perfect hosts! They really made us feel at home, in fact it felt like we were staying with an Aunt and Uncle of ours! Both were very helpful in recommending places to visit and eat and they both loved to sit and chat with us, which we were very happy to do too! They provided a very generous breakfast. The room was very spacious, nice little en suite and a comfortable night's sleep. We would definitely book with Simon and Robina again.

The room and house were clean and comfortable with good facilities including a TV and tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom. Best of all, Emma was a great host who was very friendly and welcoming and made me feel at home. She also cooks a great full English breakfast on request. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Emma is a very nice person to meet and a great host. The house is being renovated and will be lovely. The bedroom is not too spacious but it is really nice to have your own bathroom. The highlight of our stay, even for our three year old daughter, was the delicious and abundant breakfast, prepared with love, all the details, and served in beautiful china… Emma is a splendid chef and it was an honor to taste her cuisine, fit for a queen.

Emma was a great host we were in good contact about arrival times and meal requirements. I was made to feel at home immediately as Emma has such a lovely warm personality.

I try to be as flexible as possible with checking in/out times, but Wednesday's are particularly difficult so i would ask for a check in after 5.30 please. After confirmation please let me know your approximate time of arrival so I can ensure someone will be there to greet you.
New shower fitted 01.08.16 so please ignore negative reviews re the shower. The new one is awesome!

Very comfortable and clean, served my purpose well.. Thank you

Clean and tidy house, very quiet in a location which is close to the town, Redruth and the A30. I would definitely use Sandy again.

rickyMay 2016

Sandy, although I couldn't meet you cause of my arrival and leaving time. I want to thank you for the service. fantastic bed and bathroom. Large kitchen and everything very clean. What else can I say :) thanks!!

JesusAugust 2016

Great room, clean and tidy. Sandy wasn't there but her son helped me to get in. Overall, a great experience, exactly what you need after a long day of hiking in Cornwall. Absolutely recommended.

AntonAugust 2016

Sandy was very welcoming. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with everything you would need for your stay.

AshleyOctober 2016

Sandy's place had everything I needed for a few nights in Cornwall. I didn't get to meet her, but her son let me in and was very friendly. The neighborhood is very quiet and the accommodations are very clean

John T.August 2016

I was made very welcome by Sandy, I was able to book last minute, it was so quiet considering other people were in the house as well

Graham July 2016

Sandy is friendly. The place is well situated to have different trip all around.

The house is perfect for anyone who wants to come down and see what Cornish life is all about! You can enjoy many of Cornwall's picturesque beaches as well as take a trip down one of the old mine shafts. At night you can sit around with the family around the fireplace or head out to one of the wonderful pubs in the area.

Camborne, is twenty minutes from everywhere in South West Cornwall, which makes it a perfect place to stop and rest weary heads before heading off on adventures on the North, South or West coast. We have lots of parking on the street as well.

The room is a large double room, with a superking sized bed (this is not shown in the picture, as it is quite new), a wardrobe, chest of drawers, a bedside table and a television. You will have access to the whole house to use at your pleasure and it will be shared with myself (age 31) and another housemate Trina (24).
We are all very knowledgeable about Cornwall and are very active, we would be happy to chat to you about things to do and places to see if you want any tips :).
You will be able to use all the rooms in the house, apart from the other two bedrooms obviously, you can feel free to cook at home and use the front room if you want to lounge instead of being in your room. We are very friendly.

We have one parking spot in our back garden, but there is always ample parking space at the front of the house.

Very welcome indeed. Did not seem phased by the fact that we are elderly! Carried our case upstairs and made a cup of tea1

What an amazing experience! The house is so beautiful and all the people who live there are lovely. Camborne is an adorable city with very amiable people and Cornwall is definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

I and my wife stayed at Dave’s place for three nights during our trip to Cornwall. Dave was very prompt in responding to any queries during the whole of our trip and was very accommodating to all our requests. The house is gorgeous and the room is very functional, comfortable and clean. Camborne is a very nice city and an excellent base to explore Cornwall. Dave and his (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) are all very lovely. The group gave us tips for places to visit and eat, and things to do etc. We had a very cheerful and friendly welcome to the house accompanied with wine and chocolates! Since it was my birthday and our honeymoon, we were treated to even more chocolates in the room along with a beautiful wishing card. The card mentioned that there were ingredients in the kitchen for real Cornish cream tea and we were also guided how to make one in the perfect Cornish style (which was one of the things on my to-do list for our trip to Cornwall!). Overall, it was a wonderful experience. For us, it was home, miles away from home! Five stars – Highly recommended!

FarazAugust 2015

The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely house, nice garden and the bed was very comfy too

NadiaSeptember 2016

Dave and his girlfriend are great hosts, very nice & cozy house, warm welcome. Everything nice and tidy. I had really good time with my girlfriend in Cornwall also thanks to this accommodation. I would definitely recommend it!

JanJune 2016

I spent at Daves house 2 weeks in July. Dave and his girlfrend welcomed me nicely and were very hospitable for the whole time. The house is very clean, modern furbished and cozy. My room was big enough to take a good rest after my work, TV is also available in the room. The kitchen was fully equipped and I could use everything what I needed, including spices, souces etc. The location is fine, its near the city center, where you can find many restaurants and pubs. Daves passion is travelling, so travellers - you can look forward to share your experiences with him :). I would definitely recommend this accomodation to everyone, who want to spend some lovely time in beautiful Cornwall. I come definitely back again! :)

VladimirJuly 2016

We stayed in Dave's room for 3 nights during our trip around UK, the room is really comfortable and clean. Dave and his (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) are really nice people, they gave us a lot of information about Cornwall and, as it was our birthdays during the stay, they prepared a surprise for us with a real Cornish cream tea! Super stay, highly recommended

AndrewJuly 2016

Kim was there to greet us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. We had a very enjoyable stay in the delightful spacious converted barn, as depicted in the photos. Larger facility than expected. Layout was good and loved the decor, particularly the wooden floors and natural stonework.

SuzanneAugust 2016

Absolutely awesome stay. Spacious and comfortable. Very adorable farm animals. The farm is located reasonably close to the key attractions of Cornwall. Excellent for my kids who are growing up in the city. Highly recommended.

Kwan YeeJuly 2016

Had a wonderful stay at the accommodation. Everything we needed was provided and presented too a high standard. Kim was extremely helpful before and during our stay. scenery is stunning and lots of wildlife on your doorstep. wish we could have stated longer.

rachelAugust 2016

What a wonderfully quiet, peaceful location. The house is very spacious and welcoming. The beds are comfortable, and towels plenty. Kim was a wonderfully friendly and welcoming host, and although she wasn't there when we arrived, she had left the door unlocked and she asked us to make ourselves feel at home- which we did! Discovering the garden was a real treat for the boys, who also loved the chickens, dogs and tractor! We look forward to staying again in the future.

AliceAugust 2016

Wow ! My first impression .simply stunning. The cottage was lovely..Spacious .Well equipped and had exactly what we needed when we needed it .Would recommend to our friends However I would say it's not entirely suitable for smaller children.or lesser mobile people..Our daily visit from Gary the farm dog (alias Cody) became our favourite morning ritual.! Loved everything about our stay.Couldnt fault it .Except the lower floor bathroom.I felt we needed a brush to sweep the water down after a shower as the foor remained wet for a long time afterwards. Thankyou for a delightful stay and sharing your cottage and the visits from all the farm friends.Who we nicknamed hence the entry in the visitors book!

MartinJuly 2016

What a privilege to be the first to stay in this incredible place. Kim is the most gracious, warm and welcoming host you could hope for, she made us all feel really comfortable and welcome throughout, whenever we needed something she was there to help and was able to accommodate us at short notice after another booking fell through. The converted barn is spacious, cosy, clean and comfortable and very well equipped, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a large open plan kitchen/diner & living area with wood burn stove. The lovely farm itself is like a sanctuary with fields to wander through, and animals running around. There are two friendly dogs, two tiny puppies, some chickens and horses. Our own puppy had a fantastic time exploring the whole space and playing with the other animals. In terms of location, its perfect. Just a short drive from places such as St Ives, St Michael's Mount we were ideally placed to visit everything. There is also an incredible restaurant in a castle on a hill that Kim recommended to us and you must visit this place if you're nearby. The food, ambience and location are unbeatable, and its very reasonably priced. My wife and I and my in-laws from the States loved staying here and we really cannot recommend this place highly enough. If we ever get to visit Cornwall again, I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else!

NeilJune 2016

Very peasant stay. Kim is person of hospitality. We definitely will recommend my friends!

Our non smoking detached self contained cabin can be configured as a double or a twin and has a separate bathroom and kitchen. It is equipped with; Internet and Wifi, fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, iron and hairdryer. Breakfast is complimentary with negotiable check in/departure times. The cabin is ideally located for the Truro/Falmouth/Penzance catchment and just 15 minutes drive from the North & South coast. Redruth train station is just 7 minutes away. The village has basic amenities.

Freda made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was perfect for our needs as we were moving our son into University accommodation less than 10 minutes away. The cabin had its own facilities so we could feel independent but it was lovely to interact with the family when they brought breakfasts over. Fresh scones on arrival was a big bonus too!

NiyatiSeptember 2016

Our stay was breif but I would highly recomended Freda's Cabin! The family are lovely and made us feel welcomed and the cabin was just perfect and was bigger than we expected.

We had a wonderful experience staying in Freda's cabin. It was so quiet, cheerful and clean. Everything we needed was there and more. Our hosts were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious. We would highly recommend staying here. The area is just so beautiful and the place is in a great location. Our only recommendation for guests would be to get detailed instructions on how to get there before arriving in the area. We got a bit lost and didn't have phone signal once we reached the area. Neighbors were kind enough to point us in the right direction.

Dana September 2016

What an absolutely wonderful stay! Freda and Tim are lovely, and made our stay even more special than it was otherwise. Great recommendations, and fab breakfasts - seeing a smiling caring face in the morning makes an amazing start to the day! Great location for Falmouth and St Ives, with all the amenities to make for a great easy break. Will be our first check for availability when next in the area.

mikaylaSeptember 2016

Freda's house is a gem , silent, peaceful, ideal for a city break. Great location to get around and reach the destinations more known . There is nothing to improve the house is gorgeous, the welcome is the best , the breakfast is delicious, and Freda is the added value, she did everything to make our stay unforgettable, and we would never have wanted to leave her house . I recommend this stay and l also hope to come back soon.

FrancescaAugust 2016

We loved Freda and Jim. Freda's wonderful welcoming smile made us feel we were in a special place. Fresh scones, clotted cream and jam on arrival. We were impressed with our choice for breakfasts too. The accommodation was beautifully clean, private and cosy. The bed so soft and big. We are so pleased we chose to book Freda's cabin.

A beautiful Cornish granite house centrally located, a great base to explore the stunning coastline & attractions Cornwall has to offer. Ten mins drive to Porthowan/Portreath beach & many other beaches, two mins from local shops etc...

Your very spacious room (5.2 x 3.6 mtrs) has a French feel to the style with a beautiful French antique bed & furniture. The mattress is very firm but comfortable. The atmosphere is bright, airy and very spacious. Tea and coffee, fresh milk are provided, along with homemade biscuits. A flat screen television, hair dryer and lots of helpful information on local attractions. A iron/board is available, just ask. A modern en-suite bathroom with shaver adapter, fresh quality towels and toiletries. I am a passionate foodie who loves to cook, dinner is available if desired by prior arrangement, please check out my evening menu. I have a vegan daughter and cook for her so special requirements can be catered for.
You are very welcome to relax in our open plan kitchen in the evenings at the table or cosy up on the sofa to relax and watch a bit of telly.
I have a wealth of knowledge of the region due to my days working as a hotel and restaurant inspector with the AA, I would be more than happy to recommend restaurants etc... I am a 54 year old lady with plenty of spirit but the days of partying are reserved for special occasions although I do enjoy a glass of wine most evenings to unwind and relax. I would describe myself as a well travelled, happy individual who always look at the positive in life and all the wonderful things this planet has to offer. I care deeply about the environment and the future of it. I welcome all nationalities, genders and faiths into my home and leave judgement where it deserves to stay, in a sealed box!! I ask of just one thing, kindly respect my home and please make it yours whilst staying with me.

Illogan is situated on the north coast, Porthreath and Porthowan are both around a ten min drive, Porthowan is a particular favorite of mine/locals and tourists, you often spot a famous celeb there too. Parking is generally good, a real surfers beach with the fabulous Blue Bar which is almost sat on the beach, great views and food served all day. I know it well as my daughter worked as a chef there. A superb place to unwind and completely chill, great for all the family. Lots of history in the surrounding area, old mines everywhere, we have one which is 2 mins a way which has been restored for the public to visit. A bit of history for you, Redruth and St Day was the richest Sq mile in the world years ago. Illogan maids (that's what women are called in Cornwall) were mention in the new Poldark series.
Plenty of buses (2 min walk) to get you around most of Cornwall. Train stations either direction, Redruth is around a five min taxi ride, Camborne around a ten min taxi ride.

Lovely electic family home with good garden space and free parking. Can easily sleep 6+ with attic conversion. Logburner and space to cook & eat outdoors. Excellent central base for holiday in Cornwall. 5/10min drive to nearest beach

A perfect house for our stay in Cornwall. The photos don't do the house justice of how immaculate and beautiful it is. It was perfect for our base to travel around Cornwall. Definitely would recommend this place to others

JohannaOctober 2016

We had a lovely 2 nights staying in this house. It well accommodated our group and we loved the decor and large backyard. Would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for a base in Cornwall.

FranciscoAugust 2016

This is a lovely place, it exceeded our expectations and i highly recommend it! The hosts kept very good communication with me prior to arrival and made me feel at ease. The house was in great condition! *****

StavriaSeptember 2016

Beautiful family home and ideal location to visit Perranporth, Newquay, Truro and St Ives. Situated in Redruth, it's not the most dynamic town, but who needs that, when the house has a lovely garden to enjoy a wine or two after a day at the beach. Obviously a well loved house, and our kids loved the room to run around. Inga & Jack were a pleasure to deal with, the property lived up to our hopes. Totally recommended. Thanks guys!

We had a lovely time staying in this peaceful location. It was within easy travelling of many locations in Cornwall. Kevin was very helpful with sorting the WiFi code and otherwise we didn't really see him because we didn't need to. It was very clean and well organised. There is a lovely walk up to the top of Carn Brea and there is a great pub around the corner.

Kevin was incredibly responsive with all manners of queries leading up to our stay. The property was clean and in very good order. We felt very at home in the property - it was quiet and relaxing. We had a very enjoyable stay.

JosephineAugust 2015

Great host. Accommodation was close to everything. Clean comfortable and Kevin couldn't do enough for us. I would highly recommend staying here. If we return this would be the place to be.

JoOctober 2015

We stayed 5 nights in this wonderful apartment. It was great to have the opportunity to stay in our "home away from home". We didn't miss anything. Kevin helped us with our questions and he showed us his cute young dog. Our son is still talking about this lovely puppy!

Sandra AndreasJuly 2016

Kevin was great at keeping in touch, extremely responsive to text messages beforehand and respectful of our space. We did have issues with the wifi not reaching inside the apartment, but Kevin was again responsive and did his best to try and fix it. The area is quiet, the neighbors are kind, the place is clean & bright & modern. The location is a great base for exploring all parts of Cornwall. All around, great place to stay for me & my parents & our little dog :)

MadhuOctober 2015

Just like the photos, nice and clean had everything but a shaver point so take an adapter. Apartment was well equipped, shower powerful, extra heating if you needed it - we didnt. Laundry room next door in case you want to wash or dry anything. Location was really quiet no shops so take your food, milk etc. Pub down the road did a lovely evening meal and they let dogs in. If you order a chinese take away leave plenty of time it took two hours for ours to arrive. Plenty of walks around the place and close to the sea.

sueSeptember 2016

Kevin was very responsive to queries in the lead up to our stay and extremely welcoming when we arrived. He showed us where everything was, let us know he was available if we needed anything, then left us to it. Exactly what you want from a host. The apartment was lovely, far better than expected. Everything was finished to a high standard and the self catering facilities allowed us to cook varied meals from scratch withough issue (this is frustratingly often not the case with self catering!) Lovely big bath and shower. Fantastic views from the patio of the Carn Brea monument! Only room for improvement would be WiFi coverage - I could only access this from outside on the patio. We would definitely stay again!

Nine Maidens is located just 10 minutes drive from the famous Poldark Mine at Wendron!
Nearby, Helston was originally a thriving port, however as the river silted up over the years, this ceased to be. Where the river joins the sea, is now Cornwall&amp;#39;s largest freshwater lake. The market town has a mixture of Georgian &amp;amp; Victorian architecture. On Coinagehall Street is the Blue Anchor, originally a rest house for monks, which became a tavern in the 15th century. This is possibly the oldest brewery in the country selling the strong local brew, Spingo.
Porthleven is approximate 3.5 miles southwest of Helston. This charming fishing harbour also has world class surf break.
A little further along the coast, towards Penzance is Praa Sands, which has a mile of sandy beach. Helston is the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula and to the Helford River, which has some beautiful villages, namely St Anthony in Meneage &amp;amp; Helford Village. North Helford covers the area from Maenporth to Helston and includes places such as Mawnan Smith, Helford Passage, Constantine &amp;amp; Gweek. The area has many delights such as Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens, The Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, Flambards, Poldark Mine, Goonhilly Earth and Satellite Station and The Ferry Boat Inn. With easy access to Falmouth, attractions such as The National Maritime Museum Falmouth, Rick Steins Fish and Chips on Discovery Quay, Pendennis Castle and even St Mawes Castle via a 20 minute foot ferry, are all within reach.
Daphne du Maurier wrote her only romantic novel Frenchmans Creek about the River Helford, and who can blame her, the views really are beautiful. Glendurgan Gardens run by the National Trust hold a 176 year old laurel maze and the &amp;#39;Giants Stride&amp;#39; swing most popular with children. St Anthony-in-Meneage holds a lovely little church primarily of medieval architecture. Maenporth beach tucked away on the westerly edge of Falmouth Bay boast spectacular views, well worth a visit.
Redruth and Camborne, to the north, are at the centre of Cornwall&amp;#39;s traditional industrial heritage. To celebrate this, a new free visitor attraction called &amp;quot;Heartlands Cornwall&amp;quot; has been recently completed just off the A30 in Pool (between Redruth and Camborne). This is the UK&amp;#39;s first cultural playground and includes a huge adventure playground made out of timber, including the custom-made &amp;quot;giants trap&amp;quot; which lives up to the legend of Bolster, a local giant, who fell head over heels for a St Agnes maid. Art studios and galleries regularly display pieces by local and national artists. There are wild botanical gardens, world heritage site exhibitions, a visitor centre and regular markets with local produce.
